However. I have a few issues with this.
Hello, I'm Rogan and welcome to Vlogmas day 15 and Regional Signs 2.
Today will be Christmas themed. Before we go into that, I want to mention this book.
Signs Across America. It has SO many different signs.
However. I have a few issues with this.
First, this was published in 1984. And it had a third printing in 1998.
That's 20 years. It hasn't been updated since.
So... I think it's safe to say some signs in this are outdated.
Second, looking through it, I'm seeing many of the signs are similar.
So similar to the point where I wouldn't call it a regional sign, more of
a personal difference in how that person signs.
Third, not all states are represented in this. Only 25 states are. And only 38 people were contributing to this.
The book does say that the contributors were looked at,
and they felt that these people were a good representation of the deaf community.
Thumbs up. But... Often, it's only two people from each state. So I feel...
That's not nearly enough to really have a good sample size of what is actually a regional sign and
what is just that person's sign. So keep that in mind as I use this for reference.
Now to the signs. Like I mentioned in my first video, up here, I said that I would have any additions to the
regional signs I told you in the previous video. So that's what I'm doing now.
Garbage. In Michigan, they sign:
[garbage: x-chin]
Hospital. In Alabama, they sign:
[hospital: h-improve]
Pretend. In Canada, they sign:
[pretend: fake-cheek]
That's all of the additions. Now to the signs for today.
I will not do every possible variation of each word in this video.
Christmas. The most common sign for this word:
[Christmas: C-arc]
According to the book, Hawaii and Massachusetts sign:
[Christmas: beard-(shape of a tree)]
Let me know if that's accurate.
The book says that in Maine, their sign is:
[Christmas: sticking-on-hip]
Why? Like the pine sap sticking to you from all of the trees in Maine.
North Dakota and South Carolina sign:
[Christmas: Santa]
The book says this is a Washington regional sign, but I've seen other people sign it in different areas now.
So... Probably not accurate anymore.
[Christmas: C-twist]
I personally sign without the arm, just Christmas.
That's the most common I've seen, [C-arc] or [C-twist].
Next word: Santa Claus. The most common I've seen is:
[Santa Claus: poofy-beard]
Alabama and Texas:
[Santa Claus: stroking-beard]
Arkansas:
[Santa Claus: beard-(sack hauling)]
You might see Santa Claus signed these ways:
Next word: snow. The most common sign:
[snow: (flakes falling)]
I noticed in this book, I think this may be a feature of language.
Because some of these, I haven't seen that in a long time.
Mostly older people sign this, not our generation. My generation, I mean, usually signs [flakesfalling].
But more often, you will see older people signing [snow: shoulder-falling] or [snow: white-falling].
Again. [shoulder-falling]
Or [white-falling].
Interesting. The book says the New York sign is [snow: shoulder-clap].
I never saw that sign when I was in New York, so... May be an outdated sign.
Next word: cookie. The most common sign:
[cookie: C-cut]
Arkansas: [cookie: C-rub]
Let me know if that's accurate.
South Carolina: [cookie: sugar-Cf]
Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts: [cookie: C-circle]
Final word for today: chocolate. The most common sign I've seen is:
[chocolate: C-circlemotion]
A few states will sign this:
[chocolate: C-shake]
Louisiana's sign reminds me of the LSF sign for chocolate if I remember that correctly. Louisiana's sign:
[chocolate: knife-shaveoff]
The LSF sign:
[chocolat: grating]
Pennsylvania:
[chocolate: L-cheek]
Illinois:
[chocolate: cake]
That's all of the words for today. A lot of these signs were from that book,
so let me know if you don't see that sign anymore or if there's a different sign now or whatever.
